Why do homemade cakes cost so much, but cake shops sell them so cheaply?

Many people like to buy some cakes to eat outside, but for some people who like baking, they always want to make some cakes, but in the process of making, we often find that the cost of our homemade cakes is often higher than the price sold by cake shops, which makes people curious. Why are homemade cakes not as cheap as cake shops?

Why are homemade cakes not as cheap as cake shops? Because the retail and wholesale prices of raw materials are different.

First of all, at 1, we must realize that making cakes at home requires some raw materials, which can be purchased through supermarkets, but supermarkets also have their own costs and prices, and these costs and prices will increase accordingly, which will eventually lead to relatively expensive retail prices. After all, I make cakes at home and don't use too many raw materials, so wholesale is too incompatible and I can only choose retail.

The cake shop is completely different. Cake shops need wholesale raw materials, and the way to wholesale cake shops is often to talk about transactions directly with manufacturers. Therefore, without middlemen to earn the second-hand price difference, the raw materials imported by natural cake shops will be much cheaper than the retail raw materials we buy.

The relative cost of cakes made from these wholesale raw materials will be lower, and the cakes sold by natural cake shops will be cheaper than those made by ourselves.

2. The quality of raw materials used is different.

One more thing. If we eat cakes at home, the ingredients used must be the best. Many people will choose some imported ones and divide them into animal cream or vegetable cream when making cakes. Generally, animal cream will be relatively expensive, but you must choose the best animal cream when cooking at home. So if we look closely, we will find that the animal cream sold outside is actually not cheap at all. What is cheap is just some vegetable butter or made of vegetable butter.

Therefore, if there are differences in the quality of materials, it will also lead to high self-made costs, and the cake shop will eventually sell cheaply because of the use of bad raw materials.

3. Different proportions of materials

If everyone's own baking skills are better, you will find that the cakes made at home are often more delicious than those sold in the cake shop, although the cake shop and its own materials are the same.

This is because when we make a cake at home, because we only make one cake, we don't have to consider too many cost problems, so we will add enough proportion to it, but if the cake shop has enough money left to reduce the cost, it will naturally reduce some proportion accordingly.

Will lead to cake in the cake shop. Although it tastes good, it can't compare with homemade cake. At the same time, cake shops will sell cheaper because they use less materials.
